Pdf file opening in same window.

[varung44569684]

Hi ,

 I am facing the problem right now with opening of pdf files . Whenever I provide a link to pdf present in dam using TextArea , it is opening the file in same window .Is there some configuration which I can do so that it opens up in new window or gives us a pop window asking us to save or cancel the file as happens with doc or txt type of files.

We open PDF docs located in the DAM  - we simply include target="_blank":

Also - most CQ components also give you an option to open the content in a new window:

I have never seen an issue opening a PDF in a new window.
